Benzie County Barndominium Opportunity — Where Vision Meets Versatility Welcome to one of Benzie County’s most iconic and inspiring redevelopment opportunities: a historic, timber-framed Gambrel barn set on over 8 acres of rolling hardwood forest and open pasture, just minutes from Crystal Lake, Arcadia Bluffs, Crystal Mountain, and downtown Frankfort. Crafted with hand-hewn mortise and tenon joinery and oak pegs, the structure has been lovingly preserved and thoughtfully prepared for its next chapter. A new AdvanTech engineered subfloor, freshly poured garage and insulated basement floors, a restored stone foundation, and a new gravel driveway are already in place—setting the stage for your dream project. Architectural plans by a noted Northern Michigan architect envision a stunning 3–4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home spanning three levels, complete with a walkout lower level and elevated main-floor balcony. Whether you follow those plans or pursue a different vision, this property is a blank canvas of possibilities. Why limit your imagination? In Joyfield Township, you’ll enjoy exceptional freedom to design, build, and use the land as you see fit—be it as a dramatic barndominium, a boutique event venue, a working hobby farm, or an equestrian retreat. Featured on American Dream TV and soon airing on HGTV, this rare offering combines timeless craftsmanship with modern infrastructure—ready for your final touches. Your dream. Your vision. Your up-north escape. (Please respect neighboring properties and schedule showings by appointment only.)

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
